JOHN II'S PARTY AT CHUCK-E-CHEESE!!!!!

I lost my mind recently and decided to throw a two year old a party at chuck-e cheese with a few of his little friends. :) John II was a little tired and not his usual happy self, but I think he had fun. The only bummer was I spent the whole time chasing him around and letting him enjoy himself and didn't get to visit much with my WONDERFUL friends who came out to celebrate John turning 2. But, hopefully everyone had fun! I'm not sure I'll be doing Chuck-e-Cheese again anytime soon :). Thank you to all who came and celebrated with us!! Love you all!
Melanie with John. Melanie is a newer friend of mine (making her debut on my blog!), who I just fell in love with the first time I met her. She and I have a lot in common and I am really enjoying getting to know her. She is precious, and has a heart of gold. She is beautiful on the inside and out. Thanks for coming Mel. :)
Hunter!!! This is John II's birthday buddy. :) Hunter is one of my best friend, Danae's, little guy. He was born 3 days after John.
Leslie and Vail. Leslie is another of my dearest girlfriends. She is my "genius" friend. :) Make sure to check out her business site in my links!! Love you Leslie and sweet little Vail. Thanks for coming!
Sneaky!!! Daddy caught John II sampling his cake :). Here is what it looked like after....

Mike, Jamie and Autumn. I love these guys. This is Josiah's best friend's family. If you remember, I was in their wedding. These guys are some of the nicest people I know, and they are SOOO much fun!!

Beautiful Danae. Another of my best girlfriends. She is the mom of Hunter and Drew. She is so sweet and so encouraging to me. She has seen me at my very worst and just loves me anyway! Thanks Danae. Oh, she is also my AWESOME hairdresser!!

Rollercoaster!!!
Jamie and Autumn...time to go home!!! We are pooped!! :)
I hope everyone had fun. John II LOVED his gifts...all of them! There is not one he hasn't been playing with. You all really blessed us, thank you. We love you.



Oh! One more thing...we HAD a fenced back yard...last night's wind storm changed that!! We now have pieces of fence and posts thrown around in our back yard. A couple huge pieces of fence and post landed inches from our bedroom window..yet, nothing on the house was damaged! We heard A LOT of noise but had no idea how bad it was. Thank you Lord that it didn't break our bedroom window! :)
